Designed to get out of your way.

Browsers today are bloated with AI assistants, shopping integrations, and forced account syncs. Minium was built on a different philosophy: a browser should be a tool, not a tracker. It’s just you, the web, and a suite of powerful privacy tools running on a tiny Chromium core. Everything is wiped clean once you leave.

AdBlock & Anti-Phishing

Built-in integration with multiple ads, tracker and bad domain sources and phishing detection from PhishTank by Cisco Talos. Minium gets a perfect 100/100 score on AdBlock Tester.

Adblocking Levels

Four levels of protection: Gentle, Normal, Pro and Ultra, so that you get to choose how much is blocked and how much is allowed.

Burn All Data

Everything is ephemeral. A single click instantly destroys all cookies, caches, active sessions, and browsing history, in under a fraction of a second.

🚫

Zero Telemetry

Absolutely no background tracking, no data collection, and no forced account syncs or updates. Your browsing data never leaves your local machine.

Custom UI

A unified dark palette, custom grips, native tab scrolling, dark-scrollbars, and toast notifications to list a few. The whole window design is custom built.

⌨️

Keyboard Driven

Navigate faster with Minium's extensive shortcuts. Jump between tabs, trigger Picture-in-Picture (WIP), or hard-reload without lifting your hands off the keyboard.

πŸ–₯️

Power-User Ready

Universal borderless Picture-in-Picture (WIP) for all video platforms, a docked native Developer Tools pane, and auto-injected custom UserScripts and CSS.
